If you've ever been stuck for a name, lost your cool under pressure, or worked all night to meet a deadline--you're not alone. For psychologists have long said that most of us use only a fraction of the potential of our brains.

DURBAN WORKSHOP REPORT BACK 1-3 April 2008 - Durban
Hopped on a bright orange Mango 737 and got whisked to Durban on Sunday night. Monday was see old friends day and drop off workbooks at Nedbank's new superblock in Kingsmead opposite the Durban International Conference Centre and the shiny new Hilton Hotel. How Durban has changed since my student days!
Tuesday was meet the group. For the first time I noticed the Tilapia in the fishpond at the entrance. They are HUGE. Like baby sharks cruising around. I put in a finger but fortunately they were not interested.
The session was lively and not without challenges - but all enjoyed it - including me (kneeling). Here we all are for a group photo - thanks Llewelyn! (Llewelyn Wewege's blog is at http://levydry.blogspot.com/).
